New Redfoot

[dmarcus]

I would like to introduce my new Redfoot hatchling. I have named the little one Alice after my favorite movie character.

I got this little one from Matt and even though I was not looking for a Redfoot tortoise, this one had split scutes and I couldn't pass on it.

These two photo were sent to me by Matt before I picked the little one up.

My wife took this with her cell phone so the quality sucks but I still like the photo. So sleepy...

I woke the little one up to take these last few photos..

Thanks for looking...

How precious! I absolutely love that color of orange on a Redfoot. How old is he? Can't be more than a month.. two at the most!

I think no more than a month, this was my first time seeing a hatchling Redfoot in person and I love how bright the orange color is.

Thanks John, they are so hard to resist when they are hatchling...

I'm glad you like him! He was the first that I've ever had with split scutes, they're kind of interesting. I have about 4 or 5 more that I'm waiting on to hatch, shouldn't be too much longer. It was nice talking with you the other day, don't be a stranger!

He was born roughly two weeks ago. He still has a little remnant of his yolk sac still intact.
